Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 84
After being forcibly put on the political vase position of Master Chu by Xiang Kang, Xiang Bo, who was already bad-tempered, naturally became an angry man of the Xiang family. Feeling very angry, he thoughtlessly scolded his two sons Xiang You and Xiang Sui that night; the next morning, Xiang Sheng was just guarding Qulu City with his partner in the county temple. Chao Zhi made a few nasty jokes, and was immediately scolded by Uncle Xiang for a long time; in the afternoon, Zhang Liang took Uncle Xiang to visit the main camp of the Young Marshal Army. The training Xiang Han reprimanded him.

Even Xiang Zhuang, who pays the most attention to brotherhood among the Xiang family's children, and the well-known good baby Xiang Ta, failed to escape Xiang Bo's clutches. He was not polite and respectful when saluting, and was immediately ridiculed by Xiang Bo, forcing Xiang Zhuang to kneel down and apologize on the spot.Because of his loyalty to his duty, Xiang Ta tried to prevent Xiang Bo from casually flipping through the bamboo slips in the big tent of the Young Marshal's army, but he flinched from being yelled at by the furious Xiang Bo, not even daring to take a breath. He kowtowed again and again to apologize.

Don't think it's an exaggeration, if Uncle Xiang is really the boss material, then after Xiang Liang's unfortunate death in battle in history, it should be his uncle who led the Xiang family to kill Song Yi and grab the military power, and led Jiangdong's children to destroy Zhanghan. .Xiang Yu, who can be overwhelmed by the low political ability, has no record of commanding troops alone, and only dares to hide behind his back to engage in some conspiracies and tricks to deceive his family. Yes, of course it is conceivable.

Of course Xiang Kang knew about Uncle Xiang's actions quickly, but Xiang Kang never planned to stop the persuasion. The first reason is that Xiang Kang's seniority is placed here, and it is not only inconvenient to reprimand and warn the elders as a junior, but also easy Falling into the infamy of unfilial piety.Second, Xiang Kang still wished that Uncle Xiang would do this, knowing that the more Uncle Xiang acted recklessly and put on the airs of his elders, the less likely it would be for Xiang's children to follow him.So of course Xiang Kang chose to pretend to be a fool. As long as Uncle Xiang didn't affect the morale and preparations of the army, Xiang Kang would do whatever he wanted to do, and he was happy to see Uncle Xiang try his best to destroy his poor prestige.

In the end, things happened just as Xiang Kang expected. In less than two days, the members of the Xiang family couldn't stand it any longer. Including Xiang Bo's own son Xiang Sui, they all ran to Xiang Kang to complain and pleaded with Xiang Kang. Kang came forward to discipline Uncle Xiang, a troublesome uncle, and asked him to be less tempered and stop using us as a punching bag.Xiang Kang was good at persuading, and behind Xiang Bo's back, he bought wine to comfort these wronged Xiang family children, while advising them not to forget their status as juniors and the kindness of their elders in nurturing them, and to bear with Xiang Bo as much as he can, and to let him go Rang, while taking the opportunity to win over the Xiang family's children, also received ideal results, making almost every Xiang family's children feel that Xiang Kang is easy to get along with and talk to, while Xiang Bo is an obese resentful woman who has irregular menstruation and is in menopause.

However, Xiang Kang's indulgence was also a bit of a fire. On the third morning after the banquet, Uncle Xiang once again brought Zhang Liang, who had never voluntarily asked to serve Xiang Kang, to the main camp of the Young Marshal Army. He led Zhang Liang directly into Xiang Kang's tent of the Chinese army, fired at Xiang Kang who was discussing with Zhou Zeng, and said, "Kang'er, Zhao Zhuang, the governor of Sishui County, who overthrew Qin, has already captured Qi County. It's been a few days, why haven't there been any reports of his military intelligence? Did you forget to know yourself and the enemy, and you didn't send anyone to investigate his movements? Or is it that your secret workers are all dry, and you haven't sent any news yet? "

Sighing softly, Xiang Kang could only introduce the news he had received the day before yesterday, and said with a smile: "What uncle blamed is that my nephew is also planning to send someone to the city to invite you to discuss. According to the detailed information received, after Zhao Zhuang conquered Qi County, he quickly moved to Fuli to rest and recuperate, and he was still preparing for the battle there desperately. "

"Major Marshal, how many troops does Zhao Zhuang have?" Zhang Liang hurriedly asked.

"There are five flags of two or five hundred lords (thousand generals), about three hundred chariots, and about seven or eight hundred horses." Xiang Kang replied smoothly: "The specific strength of the troops is because we don't know Zhao Zhuang's army. Whether it was full when he led the army, and the loss of soldiers when he attacked Zhixian and Qixian, it is not certain, but I estimate that it is at least about [-]. In addition, Fuli's Tyrant Qin army was previously in order to prevent us from going west. , did not take part in the battle against Zhixian and Qixian, so if Zhao Zhuang recruits Fuli's Tyrant Qin army to join the battle, he should be able to dispatch more than [-] troops to attack us."

"Then dare to ask the young commander, how many troops can you gather to fight?" Zhang Liang hurriedly asked again: "Also, have you noticed any signs that Zhao Zhuang contacted the Baoqin army in Donghai County to join forces to attack you?"

"Uncle Han, forgive me." Xiang Kang was still wary of Zhang Liang, whose alias was Han Liang, and said, "These are all related to military aircraft, and it seems that you should not ask questions."

"What your Uncle Han asked is what I asked!" Xiang Bo seized the opportunity to vent again, and immediately roared: "Since you respect me as a master of Chu, then I, as a master of Chu, have the right to participate in military affairs, and even more I am qualified to know the specific situation of our Chu army. If you don’t want to talk about it, then I don’t want to be a master of Chu, so I will pay you back now.”

"Uncle forgive me, my nephew didn't know that you asked Uncle Han to ask." Xiang Kang apologized helplessly, and then said: "Except for the army that must stay behind, the army that I can use to participate in the war is at most There can only be more than 5000 points, and it is difficult to exceed the number of [-]. There are also [-] chariots and about [-] horses."

"Fortunately, there is not much difference in strength. As long as Donghai County's Tyrant Qin army does not come to make trouble, this battle will be fought." Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "What about Donghai County? Is there any sign of sending troops? "

"Not yet." Xiang Kang replied truthfully, and then said: "But we absolutely cannot rule out the participation of the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County, because according to the news obtained before, the Tyrant Qin county guard in Donghai County was as early as half a year ago." A month ago, we started to assemble the county soldiers, and they may suddenly go south at any time and stab us in the back."

Zhang Liang was silent, and then he said after a while: "Young commander, with all due respect, if Zhao Zhuang raises his troops to advance eastward, the Qin army in Donghai County will never stand idly by, whether it is for the Qin court or for themselves. Ninety-nine times the next time we will have to fight on two fronts."

"I still need your advice on this?" Xiang Kang once again slandered Zhang Liang in his heart, and then said: "I have already prepared for what is expected."

"Then how does the young commander plan to fight?" Zhang Liang asked again.

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Xiang Kang replied casually, smiled again, and said, "There is no need to rush to make up your mind now, after all, we are not sure whether the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County will participate in the battle, of course we will use Don't rush to think about splitting up your troops to fight. Maybe Zhao Zhuang was careless and underestimated the enemy, and brought his mob to die before Donghai County's Baoqin army took action. This is something that no one can say."

"Don't think that the Baoqin army is all idiots and idiots!" Uncle Xiang jumped into a rage, and roared: "Could it be that the Baoqin army is so stupid that they don't even send a small job, and don't find out your reality, and just bring the army over to die? You know? Your military strength is about the same as his, how could that mediocre Zhao Zhuang lead his troops directly to fight an uncertain battle? And how could he not ask for help from the Tyrant Qin army in the East China Sea?"

Xiang Kang had no choice but to honestly admit that his nonsense just now was just a few jokes, and he made a joke to invigorate the atmosphere, while Xiang Bo was unreasonable, and he brought out the ancients who had no jokes in the army to reprimand and teach Xiang. Kang roared so dizzy, his eyes were full of stars, and he had to apologize again and again. He said a lot of good words, and finally calmed Xiang Bo temporarily. I don't know what you think."

"Don't wait for me to think about it." Xiang Boli roared confidently, and said, "I just learned about the situation of you and Zhao Zhuang's army, and I still can't confirm whether the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County will participate in the battle. How could it be possible for a while? Will you come up with an idea?"

"Then ask uncle to work harder and help my nephew find a way to deal with the enemy quickly." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "My nephew is really under too much pressure this time, and I ask my uncle to help my nephew with suggestions. Help my nephew come up with a clever plan to defeat the enemy earlier."

After another round of anger, and again putting on airs like an elder uncle, Uncle Xiang, who was hoarse, took Zhang Liang away.But not to mention, one is because the Young Marshal’s Army is actually the private army of the Xiang family, and Uncle Xiang is unwilling to see the entire army of the Young Marshal’s army wiped out; After entering the camp of the Young Marshal's Army, Uncle Xiang still asked Zhang Liang for advice: "Zifang, you have studied "The Grand Duke's Art of War". Do you have any ideas on how to fight this battle?"

"You can't defend it, you have to wait to die." Zhang Liang replied: "Although the young commander's army currently has a city to defend, there are no soldiers outside that must be rescued. Die. Dividing up the troops to fight is even more self-defeating. Uncle, your nephew's troops are not superior in the first place. If you divide up and fight again, it will only give the enemy a chance to concentrate local superior forces and defeat them calmly, and the loss will only be worse."

"Then there is no other way?" Xiang Bo asked worriedly.

"There is only one way, preemptive strikes and defeat each one." Zhang Liang replied: "Be the first to defeat one enemy line, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with another enemy line."

"Preemptive attack and attack each one?" Uncle Xiang took some effort to figure out Zhang Liang's tactical intentions, and then quickly asked, "Then how to do it specifically?"

"I haven't figured out how to do it." Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about the situation of the enemies in Surabaya, especially Zhao Zhuang's personality, so I can't attack his weaknesses. I don't know. Whether he has an opportunity here, of course, I don't know whether to attack him first, and then turn around to deal with the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County, or deal with the enemies of Donghai County first, and then turn around to deal with him. So I have to Let’s go back to the city to collect some information about Zhao Zhuang, and then we can come up with a solution.”

"Then why are you still in a daze? Go back to the city." Xiang Bo urged, and said impatiently: "Zifang, I have something to ask you, the strategy of pre-emptive strikes and individual defeats, don't rush to tell others, let me give pointers That little bastard Xiang Kang."

Knowing Xiang Boai's bad temper, of course Zhang Liang did not refuse. After returning to the city, Zhang Liang immediately, with the help of Xiang Bo, found some officials who had dealt with the Sishui County Governor's Mansion. After inquiring about the character and temper of the enemy's coach, he soon discovered that Zhao Zhuang was a bit headstrong and didn't like to listen to others' good advice; Without going into details, let’s just say that after Qi County and Zhi County fell successively, although Zhao Zhuang waited until the troops from the northern part of Sishui County were assembled and had confidence, when he launched the siege, he just blindly attacked. The fight lacked strategy, but also clearly showed eagerness; the temper was typical brutal and easy to kill. In addition to the massacre of Chen Sheng's soldiers in Qi County, all the prisoners of war captured in Zhi County were buried alive before. The method was quite cruel. .

Aiming at Zhao Zhuang's character traits, the resourceful Zhang Liang soon came up with an idea, and said to Xiang Bo: "Brother, Zhao Zhuang has many weaknesses in his character and temper that can be exploited. You can attack him first, and then you can attack him." Turn around and deal with the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County. I think you might as well ask your nephew to take advantage of Zhao Zhuang's character weaknesses of greed and lack of stability, and deliberately show weakness to the enemy, so that Zhao Zhuang feels that he has an opportunity to take advantage of him, even if he doesn't use Donghai You can also kill your nephew with the help of the Tyrant Qin army in the county, then he will definitely advance first and bring the army to fight for trouble, and your nephew's army will wait for work at leisure, and the chances of winning will be much greater."

"Brilliant plan." Uncle Xiang praised without thinking, and then hurriedly asked: "Zifang, what should I do specifically?"

Zhang Liang smiled and whispered into Uncle Xiang's ear, but Uncle Xiang became more and more joyful the more he listened, then he couldn't wait to pull Zhang Liang up and said, "Go, go see that little Zhuzi Xiang Kang right away! Today, the old man wants to let him see what a real trick is!"

"It's already dark." Zhang Liang pointed to the sky outside with a smile, and said, "Tomorrow, let's go tomorrow morning."

Looking at the night sky full of stars outside, Uncle Xiang had no choice but to give up, but the next day, just before dawn, Uncle Xiang didn't even eat any food, so he immediately dragged Zhang Liang, who was eating, out of the city to meet Xiang Kang Zhang Liang had no choice but to go out of the city together under Xiang Bo's pull, and hurried to the camp of the main force of the young marshal's army outside the city, to help Xiang Bo show off his prestige and teach his nephew a lesson.

After Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang got into the Chinese army tent, Xiang Kang who received the news had no choice but to obediently drag Zhou Zeng over to salute Xiang Bo, but Xiang Bo changed his mind temporarily and told Xiang Kang: "Kanger, Call all the Xiang family children who are in the army, I have something to tell you."

"Uncle, what is so important? Do you want to call all the brothers?" Xiang Kang was vigilant, and subconsciously thought of various mutinies and coups in history.But fortunately, when Xiang Kang quickly observed the surrounding situation quietly, he found that all the tents were filled with his own soldiers who followed him when he raised his troops from the Shiling Pavilion. There were no outsiders except the frail Zhang Liang. The appearance of military power.

"Don't ask, you will know when the time comes." Uncle Xiang replied rudely, and couldn't wait to imagine the admiration and admiration that the children of the Xiang family looked at him after he revealed the strategy to defeat the enemy.

Unable to resist Uncle Xiang, the incompetent and airy third uncle, Xiang Kang had no choice but to send someone to notify Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and the others, telling them to come to the Chinese Army tent to assemble.Not a moment later, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han, Xiang You and others who received the news arrived one after another. After seeing Uncle Xiang present, they had no choice but to bow to Uncle Xiang and waited suspiciously for Xiang Kang to speak.

To the surprise of the Xiang family's children, after all the Xiang family's children arrived, the first person to speak was Xiang Bo, who was sitting in the right column, and asked Xiang Kang in a leisurely manner: "Kang Er, the Tyrant Qin army in Sishui County is currently stationed. Fuli is only a few hundred miles away, and the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County is also gathering troops. They may go south from Tancheng at any time and stab us in the back. As the general of the entire army, how do you deal with it? Come up with a strategy?"

"Why do you ask the teacher to blame you as soon as you come up? Do you really want to force the palace, wanting to excuse my incompetence in commanding the army and force me to hand over the military power to him?"

In fact, Xiang Kang, who is quite greedy for life and afraid of death, became more vigilant, and became more suspicious of Xiang Bo's intentions. He first looked around at the Xiang family's children present, until he confirmed that including the most unreliable Xiang You, they all looked puzzled, not like With the appearance of always being ready to help Xiang Bo force the palace, Xiang Kang felt a little relieved.However, in front of the Xiang family's children, Xiang Kang couldn't just give in to his prestige, and quickly said with a smile: "Of course my nephew has an idea about how to deal with the current situation, but it's a confidential matter, so it's inconvenient to make it public. "

"Oh, you already have an idea? Then tell me, what kind of idea do you have?" Xiang Bo asked arrogantly, then sneered and said: "The people present here are either our Xiang family's children, or your cronies. There are friends and close friends of this old man who will not reveal your military aircraft, can you tell me about it?"

Looking even more surprised at Uncle Xiang, whose face was full of yin and yang, Xiang Kang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you say it. How to deal with the current situation, generally speaking, it is eight words. Preemptive strikes. Destroy each one."

Uncle Xiang was astonished, and Zhang Liang was even more astonished. After being astonished, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked, "Young commander, can you tell me more about it?"

"It doesn't need to be too detailed, it can be explained clearly in a few words." Xiang Kang said without thinking: "If the Tyrant Qin troops from Sishui County and Donghai County join forces to defend, we have no reinforcements to count on, passive hope is just waiting for death. Dividing our troops to fight is even more courting death. Our strength is not dominant in the first place, and we are even weaker after dividing our troops. Concentrate your forces to kill one line of enemies, then turn around and kill another line of enemies."

Uncle Xiang's mouth was almost dislocated, and Zhang Liang looked Xiang Kang up and down again as if he didn't know him, and then asked, "Young commander, what are you going to do specifically?"

Xiang Kang refused to answer, and when Uncle Xiang came back to his senses, he roared angrily, "Say, what are you going to do? I am the master of Chu State, and I have the right to participate in military aircraft. Tell me what are you going to do?"

Xiang Kang was angry in his heart, but it was inconvenient for Xiang Kang to explode in front of the Xiang family's children, so he could only pout at Zhou Zeng who was next to him. Two days ago, the young marshal asked me to write a false surrender letter to Mr. Zhao Zhuang, declaring that I intend to surrender to the Tyrant Qin army for meritorious service and atonement. Soldiers come to fight for fear, and win the opportunity for our army to defeat the enemy one by one."

Uncle Xiang opened his mouth to the limit again, while Zhang Liang lost his mind and murmured, "Two days ago? Two days ago, you already started to arrange the plan to lure the enemy?"
